"Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for." ~Zig Ziglar

Create in me a new heart, O God....

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. ~Psalms 25: 16-18

"Resolved, whenever my feelings begin to appear in the least out of order, when I am conscious or the least uneasiness within, or the least irregularity without, I will then subject myself to the strictest examination." ~Jonathan Edwards, resolution #60. July4th &13th 1723

I think that this is a very good resolution, and it is good to learn from those who went before us. But I almost never heed it.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~David said:Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.....Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
